Thrust screws with radiused half-dog point

Surfaces which are not flat and parallel can be firmly clamped or supported with with a flattened ball, the movable ball can adapt itself up to 9°. Longer versions have been designed especially to be glued in. This allows mechanical connecting elements with external thread to be made cost-effectively for small and medium-sized series. The ball has a rotation lock.

Form A with full ball is used when a clean, polished contact surface is required. Surfaces which are not flat and parallel can be firmly clamped or supported with Form B with flattened ball, the movable ball can adapt itself up to 9°. Drawing reference: Form A: full ball Form B: flattened ball Form BV: flattened ball, rotation lock Form F: serrated flattened ball Form FV: serrated flattened ball, rotation lock

Ball-end thrust screws with full ball are used when a clean, polished contact surface is required.

Grippers and inserts are ideal for use in clamping arms, gripping systems, clamping fixtures, clamping jaws and self-aligning pads. The use of grippers allows the transfer of very high torque values and above average grip, even with hard materials and surface irregularities. Form O: The abrasive diamond surface is bonded firmly to the base. It is ideally suited to supporting smooth or slippery applications with a minimum of clamping pressure. This allows the diamond particles to get a firm grip on a very small area with minimum damage to the surface. The diamond surface offers excellent wear resistance. Form P: The polyurethane surface is vulcanised firmly to the ball. It is abrasion-resistant and does not discolour. It offers optimum protection against damage to delicate surfaces. The pearl-like surface gives a firm grip and allows air to escape so as to prevent any suction effect between the contact surface and the self-aligning pads.
